Because of the need to transfer the former headmaster to the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital for surgery, Xu Xiaohong, who had originally come to persuade Chen Yu to return to China for a teaching appointment, naturally acquired a new task. She would have to stay in Tokyo to handle the related paperwork and arrange for the former headmaster's surgical matters in Japan.

However, for Xu Xiaohong, this wasn't something unacceptable. On the contrary, she was pleased to contribute to the treatment of the former headmaster's condition. Especially because this was considered a business trip; all expenses could be reimbursed, so she was naturally happy to stay in Japan for a few extra days.

Of course, for Xu Xiaohong, work was always her top priority. Although her original mission to persuade Chen Yu to return home to teach had failed and changed into her needing to handle the former headmaster's surgery paperwork, she did not slack off in her efforts.

After confirming the related matters and receiving the former headmaster's medical records sent overnight from home, she brought these documents to the hospital.

"Looking at the medical records, the situation isn't at its worst. If it's only this level of severity, although the surgery must be performed promptly, there shouldn't be a problem curing it through the surgery," said Chen Yu, after studying the medical records Xu Xiaohong had brought and repeatedly observing several CT images before concluding that surgery was feasible.

However, although he had concluded that surgery was feasible, Chen Yu still gave his aunt a precautionary warning, "This result is solely based on the medical records I have in hand. If the former headmaster's condition experiences unforeseen circumstances or worsens during his trip to Japan, then I cannot guarantee that we can proceed with the surgery.

So, whether or not surgery is possible must wait until the former headmaster arrives and after I have conducted a comprehensive examination."

"That's natural, we are all in the medical field, we understand these things. Ah-Yu, you don't need to feel pressured," Xu Xiaohong nodded with understanding. It's common for doctors to recheck the diagnosis given by other doctors. Even with accepted test results, one must re-examine them before feeling confident.

Especially with major diagnoses concerning surgical procedures, one must see the test results before truly deciding whether to operate.

After all, if someone were to be opened up on the surgery table only to find that the tumor has spread to an inoperable extent, that would undoubtedly be a very troublesome issue.

Not being able to operate is a minor issue, but for patients, having their stomach cut open and then closed up without doing anything poses a great harm, especially for late-stage cancer patients. This is particularly true for elderly patients who already have a significant burden from surgery alone.

Cutting them open without performing any further treatment would undoubtedly place a huge load on the patient's body.

Therefore, pre-surgical examinations and confirmations are very important.

"Then I'll entrust the former headmaster's surgery to you, Ah-Yu. Let me know what procedures need to be handled," Xu Xiaohong expressed concern over which procedures needed to be completed for hospital admission and surgery, now that Chen Yu had agreed to perform the operation.

"Regarding these matters, I'll have my secretary, Miss Shirai, assist you, Auntie. She will tell you which procedures to follow," said Chen Yu. Then he called out to the outside of his office, "Shirai-san!"

"This is the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital? As expected of Tokyo, it looks much more imposing than the one in Kyoto," at the entrance of the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, two young women who looked identical were chatting, seemingly waiting for someone.

Although the two women looked exactly alike, just by looking at their eyes, one could distinguish between them. One pair of eyes held a mix of innocence and confusion, slightly bewildered; the other's gaze was brighter and calmer, exuding a kind of intellectual wit. The one who had just spoken was the one with the brighter eyes.

The confused-looking one of the identical young women was naturally Zhang Zhao, Xu Xiaohong's little lackey, and the one who looked exactly like her was Zhao Min, her twin sister who had come from Kyoto to visit her.

"Is it really different? Isn't it just a hospital?" the bewildered Zhang Zhao raised her head to take another look at the main building of the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, feeling there wasn't anything different.

Zhao Min glared at her sister impatiently. Knowing all too well that it was pointless to explain to her twin with whom she'd grown up, she simply shook her head without explaining. Instead, she asked directly, "The surgery video you showed me, was it really performed by Senior Brother Chen? His skills weren't that high back then, right?

Even if he was admitted to the University of Tokyo Medical School, this 'Monster Club,' he shouldn't be this impressive, right? Even Dad and Mom combined aren't this remarkable."

"Eh? Is he really that impressive? Although I've never seen Dad and Mom perform surgery, since Senior Brother Chen was their student, shouldn't he be less skilled than his teachers?" Zhang Zhao found her sister's questions rather strange. Although she also thought Chen Yu was very skilled when she watched his surgery, she didn't have a clear sense of how exceptional he was.

In her mind, her parents, who had taught Chen Yu, should have been more skilled.

"Which is why discussing this with a little airhead like you is pointless; you're just watching for excitement since you're not a doctor," Zhao Min shook her head, obviously having lost interest in explaining to her sister just how skilled Chen Yu was. But deep down, she was still amazed by the surgery performed by Chen Yu that she had seen on the video Zhang Zhao had shown her the previous night.

Since both her parents were doctors, Zhao Min naturally also went into medicine. However, unlike her sister, who was also medically trained but could only work in administration, Zhao Min was much more gifted in medicine. Not only did she come to Japan to study medicine like Chen Yu, but she was also admitted to Kyoto University, renowned on par with The University of Tokyo.

Because of this, Zhao Min understood how difficult the surgery in Zhang Zhao's recording was and how high Chen Yu's level was as the chief surgeon.

A surgery of such complexity wasn't something she, nor her parents—Professor Zhang and Teacher Zhao, who had once taught Chen Yu, could be confident about. Indeed, there were few among her teachers at Kyoto University who would dare to undertake such a procedure.

The more she understood the level of Chen Yu's surgery, the more baffled Zhao Min became. She had seen Chen Yu's surgical skills when he was in China, which were also exceptional, but certainly not at the level of a top surgeon.

This puzzled Zhao Min considerably. The University of Tokyo Medical School certainly claimed to be the 'Monster Club,' as those who were admitted were all remarkable, but she had never heard that it turned people into 'monsters.'
